FZ is becoming a company that office staff see pilots as their worst enemy. Especially HR and rostering. Don't dare ask for any favours or help, they will give you the finger, in a nice way.
Pilots are worked to the maximum of their limits. 3 night flights single day OFF, 4 mornings followed by 2 OFF and then back to night flights, typically report at 23:00 - 02:00 and get back around 09:00 in the morning. Excuses plenty: not enough pilots, commercial coming up with new flights etc etc.
Trying to commute nowdays becomes impossible, even for 3 days. The funny thing is that aims can give you a Ryanair or Easyjet type of roster, but the experts running the rostering department come up with excuses on every time someone brings up an issue. Every pilot I meet in the briefing room talks only about the hectic roster, that has a toll on our life and health.
And people leave, and this number will increase as more people now complete the bonding period. Can the company afford to loose experienced on its operation pilots? If not then they better do something about it.
